`This invention relates toa sheet holder which is adapted to be used in combination with la bookor directory holder for securing additional sheets and Vmaintaining them 5' alongside of the book or directory.

The invention isespecially adapted for telephone directory holders in that it will properly secure the additional directory sheets which are issued by telephone companies as new customers occur. These eXtra sheets are issued from time to time and there has always been more or less difliculty in keeping them with the directory. Accordin to this invention these sheets are now anc ored to 15 the directory holder as they arrive and they occupy substantially the same position as the Y directory proper. Y

The invention comprises the novel structure and combinations of parts hereinafter de ze scribed and more particularly pointed out and defined in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings which illustrate a prefered form of this invention and in which similar reference numerals refer to similar features in the different views:

Figure 1 is an interior plan view of a book holder embodying this invention illustrating in dotted lines the manner of assembling a book or directory with respect to the holder.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary perspective view of a book holder involving this invention.

In connection with this invention, there is shown in the drawings a book or Vdirectory `i'50 bers 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 which are suitably present instance.

.-holder.

holder consisting of the side cover members 1 which are suitably connected by a back por- A secured by one flange thereof to the back portion of the book holder. The vertical or upstanding flanges of the angle members 3 and 5 are inalignment and the upstanding flanges of the angle members4 and' 6 are likewise in alignment thereby providing a form of'compartment for receiving therear portion of a bookor directory which is adapted to be contained within the holder. *Ay pair of l sockets 7 are formed in the back portion'of the book holder as shown in Figure 3vand these y sockets 7 extend through apertures in the attaching flanges ofthe angles 34 and 5 in the y A loose sheet anchoring. rail 8 which is provided with depending lugs 'T65 9 adapted to entervthe sockets 7 is provided. This loose sheet anchor `8 is adapted for conlining additional sheets alongside of the lbook or directory. These loose sheets are preferably provided with suitable apertures 70 through which the lugs 9 extend as shown in Figure 5 with the result that the loosev sheets v10 asillustratedin Figure 5 are firmly anchored by one margin below the anchor 8.'v

The outer ends of the angle members 5 and' 75 6 are connected bya -rod 11. Phe outer ends f of the angle members 3 and 4 sustain a removi able ,rodr12 which Vis, showninthe form of a small tube. Resilient metal strips 13 are se.

"strip 13`carries a pin 15 which is adapted to 85 extend throughv an aperture in the upstanding v flange of thesupporting angles landinto the rod 112 as shown in Figure 3. The transverse rods or posts 11'and 12 lare adapted for sus.

taining one or more wirey rods 16as shown 90 in Figure 1; `These wire rods 16 are adapted for securing the book or directory within the yIn order to assemble'` thebook or directory with respect to the wire rods 16, the resilient members 13 will-be pulledloutwarde5 ly as shown in Figure 1 to'release the post 12 whereby the wires may be swung upo'nthe 'post 11 as a'pivot'into the position shown in dotted lines inf'Figure 1.L When the wires 16.. havebeen swung into the dotted line position 100 as shown in Figure l, the book or directory is suspended thereon with the wires engaging between the leaves thereof as shown in Figure 2. The assembled book is then swung over the cover and the pins l5 are again secured in the rods l2 whereby the book becomes firmly secured within its holder. It will be noted that the' loose sheet anchor 8 will lie beneath the back of the book and will be held in position thereby. Now when a telephone company furnishes additional sheet-s1 with subscribers thereon and it is desired to add the same to the directory in the event that the' holder is used for a telephone directory, the directory will be released and swung into the dotted line position shown in- Figure l.v The loose sheety anchor will then be'removed and applied to the loose sheets with the lugs 9 extending through the apertures in such sheets. The sheet anchor 8A will then be replaced within the back of the directory-holdyfrom time to time by simply removing the book or directory and placing such sheets underneath the'anchor 8.

I am aware that many changes may be made and numerous details of construction may be varied through a wide range without departing from the principles of this invention, and I therefore do not purpose limiting the patent granted hereon otherwise than necessitated by the prior art.

I claim as my invention:

1.- The combination with a book holder having means for receiving and confining the rear part of a book, of a loose leaf anchor having means for engaging loose sheetsl and anchoring the same to the bottom of said holder.

2. The combination with a book holder having a compartment for receiving the rear part of the book, means for confining said book within said compartment for swinging movement in an endwise direction, and a removable anchor for loose sheets adapted to be secured in the bottom of said compartment for the purpose set fo-rth.

3. In afbook holder having a compartment for receiving the rear end of said book and a sheet holder removably secured in the bottom of said compartment for confining loose sheets. Y

4f. The combination with a directory holder having means for receiving the rear part of said directory, and means beneath the rear ,ment, said sheet holder and compartment having cooperating means for securing said holder in a predetermined position, and means for conning a. directory within said compartment of said sheet holder.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name at Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.
